Reality

[TacoMac]

Literally not one Republican will vote for any Democrat. The fact that it is being discussed is laughable. If Progressives want to shoot themselves in the foot, let them.

So-called 'progressives' are really nothing more than tea party idiots on the other end of the spectrum.

Nobody takes them seriously. Nobody ever will. In the end, all they do is fuck up their respective party's chances in elections.

Funny how maps change over the years.

I want Texas back.

Democrats left Texas, not the other way around.

Democrats left Texas, not the other way around.

LBJ said in 1964 after Civil Rights Act, 'we just lost Texas for the next 20 years.'

Slight miscaIculaton?

In JFK's doomed motorcade in 1963 rode Democrat governor Conally, Democrat VP Johnson, Democrat senator Yarborough.

Only a 12 of US Congressmen (6 Senators and 6 Reps) who caucus with Democrats could be called centrist or moderate. The rest vote to support crucial progressive issues more than 80% of the time. Cult of Sanders hijacked the term to mean somebody in their cult. If Pelosi isn't a progressive then neither is Sanders. They both have about the same progressive voting record. Except Pelosi actually has enacted progressive legislation and Bernie just names post offices.

Being on the right side of history isn't one of the mistakes Democrats have made over the past 50 years.

Kyle Kulinski is host for a propaganda show that supports the right wing agenda. Anything that comes from him is suspect.

@Padawanbater2 is correct..voters are more progressive than you think..i believe hillary would've won if she moved further left- and she had that opportunity..she chose 'i'm not trump' and 'it's my turn'.

pretty selfish.

There's first gotta be enough support for more than a 2 party system which there isn't in this current time. The majority are more than happy to be either a democrat or a republican. The throw away candidates aren't really paid much attention to by the mainstream public.

what happened to gillum?

He would have won if he didn't lose. Was it because he wasn't Progressive enough? Was it the large donations he took from billionaires?

Actually I'm agreeing that most voters support progressive issues. That's what happened this election, we voted for progressive Democrats. The disagreement is where you claim most voters want the poorly crafted legislation that Sanders wrote for universal healthcare and other fern seed from Bernie. Not because they don't support universal access to health care, Bernie's bill was simply bad.

I blame racist old people and the Bradley effect.

Gillum lost to a very right wing candidate just like Hillary did.
